I was disappointed
This does have a little bit of humor, but not the right combination since everything didn't "come together" at the end. Decent graphics, but the animation was slow and a little distorted (referring to the movement of it all).
Reviews for "General Relativity"

You should really work on a big project in flash before sending it to newgrounds... watch some of the popular movies here and get an idea of it.
ok wtf?!?!?
i got bored 10 seconds into this poo and i couldnt hear a god damn thing!!!but good graphics!
try harder next time!!!
I hope your teacher failed you.
Aside from the humor not being very funny and the flash mechanics being poor, the science was horrible.
I don't care about the humor or flash competency, because I certainly can't do any better, but the physics of that really upset me.
While it is true that the binder would, at one singular point in time, be traveling at 9.8 M/s away from the viewers, the more important point would be that it was accelerating at 9.8 M/s/s away from the viewers at all times, because it was in the Earth's gravitational field. While you mentioned the elevator, you missed the relativity reference that someone can't tell if they are in a gravitional field or under constant acceleration that Einstein pointed out.
Gravity and acceleration are seen as similar, because a person at rest in a room on the Earth's surface or someone in a room accelerating in space at 32 ft/s/s couldn't tell the difference.
Of course, that argument of Einstein's was what lead seamlessly into his argument that because of the parabolic curve a beam of light would appear to have to a viewer under constant acceleration, mass must distort space, because gravity bends light due to its similarity to acceleration.
Also, not only do large masses attract small masses, but small masses also attract large masses. All matter attracts all other matter. That has been known since Newton. F=ma. The Earth exerts a force of 1 pound on a 16 oz bottle of soda, but that soda also exerts a force of 1 pound on the Earth, because for every force, there is an equal and opposite one. So, the moon does not exactly revolve around the Earth, but both the Earth and the moon revolve around the center of both their masses, because for every force, there is an equal and opposite one.
You didn't mention why the Theory of Special Relativity ties into, and makes possible, the Theory of General Relativity.
You completely missed time dilation due to a gravitational field.
You also demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the Theory of General Relativity. You just spit out buzzwords. I don't know if you received a passing grade on this presentation, but I certainly hope you did not.
It's really not rocket science.
He could've acted like a cyborg.
Like the guy says, I don't care about learning stuff.
